“I know it can be used as an audio interface, but does it also work as a sound card for PC? Can I use this for monitoring PC audio and mics for Twitch streaming? or even to hear PC audio while not recording?”

You can connect the Zoom PodTrak P4 to a laptop/computer via the Channel 4 USB input using a USB-C cable. Then set the gain dial on Channel 4 to a suitable level such as 5, 6, 7. Then plug in headphones to any of the four headphone-in ports at bottom of the device. At this point, the PodTrak P4 is acting as a USB interface connected to a laptop/computer. Whatever sound or music is playing from the laptop/computer can be heard through the headphones plugged into the PodTrak P4. You can hear any sound coming out of the laptop/computer regardless whether the PodTrak P4 is recording or not. If you don't press the record button, then of course the P4 will not record the sound coming from the laptop/computer. If you do press the record button, the P4 will record the sound coming from the computer. For any XLR microphones plugged into the PodTrak P4, the audio can also be heard as well, regardless whether the P4 is recording or not. However, make sure not to insert a microphone into Channel 4 if the P4 is being used as a USB interface (therefore can only use Channel 1, 2, 3 - but not channel 4 if the P4 is being used as a USB interface.
